"Haha …" Zhu Yaoxian laughed maniacally. He had already figured out their intentions.
'Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! ' Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Miao Yi urged Charcoal to run.
He had no choice but to run. His opponents had learned their lesson and avoided his attack range. He couldn't hit them, so they could only hit him. Moreover, it was nine against one. He had no choice but to run.
The rumbling of hooves grew more and more intense. Sensing Miao Yi's anxiety, Charcoal's eyes gradually darkened. A hint of madness appeared in his eyes, and they slowly turned blood-red. His four hooves moved as fast as a phantom, covering a distance of several zhang with each stride. His limbs were so powerful that it made one's hair stand on end.
Miao Yi felt like he was in the middle of a gust of wind. The ground was uneven, and he could easily pass through it. Mountains were in his way, and rivers were in his way. The scenery around him seemed to be blown by a gust of wind. On Charcoal's back, Miao Yi lowered his body and found the feeling of flying. He could feel the vastness of the earth through Charcoal's body.
The nine pursuers saw that they were about to catch up, but then they realized something was wrong. The guy below seemed to be running at the same speed as them. How could he be running so fast? How could he be running as fast as they were flying? Was it just their imagination, or was he flying too slow?
The nine of them looked at each other, speechless. Strange things happened every year, but this year, there were especially many. What was going on?
"That mount's armor must be some kind of transcendent artifact that can increase its speed!" someone said.
Yan Beihong and the other two also realized something was wrong. How could Miao Yi be running so fast? They couldn't help but look at each other.
The nine pursuers didn't care too much. It didn't matter if they could catch up to him or not. As long as they could catch up to him, they would be fine. They immediately threw their weapons as they flew.
Miao Yi put away the Qilin Spear and held the Nine-Eared Staff in his hand. Even though Miao Yi couldn't control it, it was more useful as a shield than the Qilin Spear. The Qilin Spear couldn't withstand the attacks of so many Red Lotus cultivators. There was a high chance that it would collapse.
With a loud rumble, the ground was blasted into a cloud of dust. Charcoal's four hooves were like rapid drums, immediately blasting away any flying boulders and dirt it encountered. Carrying Miao Yi on its back, it continuously rushed out from the ground that had been blasted apart by the explosions.
Behind him, Miao Yi furiously swung the Nine-Eared Devil Subduing Pestle. Clang! Clang! He continuously deflected the incoming transcendent artifacts. His main focus was to protect Charcoal from the attacks. With the protection of the Third Grade Armor Artifact, he could still withstand the attacks. Every time he swung the Demon Subduing Pestle, a red light would appear on the pestle. Miao Yi really didn't dare to continue using his arts to enhance the transcendent artifact. He couldn't afford to waste his transcendence energy on it, so he could only use it sparingly.
Even so, Miao Yi's arms were still numb with every counterattack, and the scepter almost flew out of his hands several times. Miao Yi's heart was filled with grief and indignation. He knew that he wouldn't be able to keep this up for long. Fortunately, it was Charcoal's leg strength. If it had been any other mount, it wouldn't have been able to withstand such a powerful impact and would have long since been flipped over.
As for Charcoal, the more he ran, the crazier he became. Sometimes, he would encounter a mound or a mountain rock that blocked his way. His head smashed into the wall, but his momentum didn't slow down as he continued to charge forward.
Miao Yi simply didn't dare to slow down. He didn't even dare to make a turn. If he slowed down even a little, the other party's attacks would immediately become more accurate, and he would definitely be bombarded with several attacks at once. He wouldn't be able to block all of them at once. If he kept running like this, he could at least block a few of the attacks.
One man and one steed ran as fast as lightning on the ground, constantly charging out from the ground that had been blasted open. It was a truly soul-stirring sight, and even a little tragic. Yan Beihong and the others who were chasing after Miao Yi felt like their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. However, they still couldn't catch up to Miao Yi, and could only watch helplessly as Miao Yi suffered alone on the ground.
Meanwhile, the nine people chasing after Miao Yi were shocked. 'This is way too ferocious! Since when did a Blue Lotus cultivator become so ferocious? Even nine Red Lotus cultivators working together couldn't kill him!'
However, to their delight, Miao Yi ran into a dead end. After running into a semi-circular towering mountain, the speed at which he was charging at was bound to slow down!
The nine people immediately stopped attacking and put away their transcendent artifacts. They were ready to find an opportunity to launch a combined attack and kill Miao Yi in one strike.
Miao Yi was startled as he charged into the mountain range. He quickly turned around to look at the sky behind him and realized his opponents' intentions. He quickly turned back to face the front with a ferocious expression. Charcoal didn't slow down in the slightest.
'Whoosh!' As Miao Yi charged halfway up the mountain, the instant he slowed down, the nine people in pursuit immediately focused their weapons on him. However, the boulder beneath Charcoal's feet suddenly shattered. He twisted his body and leaped into the air, using the counterforce to pounce on the nine people flying towards him.
The nine transcendent artifacts barely scraped past Charcoal's feet, causing the mountain below to crumble and the ground to crack. Meanwhile, Charcoal used all his might to leap a thousand meters into the air.
'Can a dragon steed jump that high?' The nine people were shocked. Meanwhile, Miao Yi had already switched the Nine-Eared Demon-Subduing Pestle back to the Qilin Spear. He then leaped up from Charcoal's back and leaped towards the nine people who couldn't dodge in time.
The nine people paled in fright. It was already too late for them to recall their transcendent artifacts, so they quickly summoned a random assortment of first grade transcendent artifacts to make do with each other. Then, they charged towards Miao Yi.
"Kill!" Miao Yi roared angrily. He leaped into the air and brandished his spear like a dragon.
One bolt, two bolts, three bolts …
Ten fiery-red bolts of lightning. Stunning! Stunning!
Almost at the same time, the ten bolts of lightning were unleashed. Ten Kills with a Single Spear!
Once a cultivator reached the Blue Lotus Ninth Grade, the attack speed would be even faster and the power would be even greater!
The nine people couldn't dodge in time. In their panic, the nine people screamed in agony, "Ahhh …!"
Even though most of them had armors protecting their bodies and withstood the attacks of the ten red thunderbolts, the intense heat that broke through their defenses instantly poured into their armors, causing the nine of them to turn into nine fireballs and fall to the ground.
Bang bang bang! The Third Grade Armor Artifact on Miao Yi's body flickered with a faint red glow, and he was struck by the three attacks the nine people unleashed before they died. Miao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. The Qilin Spear in his hand was knocked out of his grasp, and his entire body was sent flying as well.
If he hadn't been forced into a corner, he definitely wouldn't have used the Ten Kills with a Single Spear at such a critical moment. That was because once he used this move, there would be no way out. He couldn't even fully control this move, and he could only unleash it without being able to retract it. After a single strike, he would immediately become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Bang bang! Charcoal let out a shrill cry as he took two hits in quick succession. The Second Grade Armor Artifact on his body was shattered by the first grade transcendent artifacts of the nine people. This first grade transcendent artifact was no ordinary one, even with the help of a Red Lotus cultivator.
Fortunately, the Second Grade Armor Artifact on his body managed to block some of the damage, so it wasn't a fatal blow. Even so, Charcoal was still sent flying.
Miao Yi fell to the ground after a somersault. He refused to give up on the idea of saving his own life. Mustering the last of his transcendence energy, he grabbed the Cloud Pearl and tossed it out. The pearl spun rapidly, and a thick white mist spread out in all directions.
Such an ineffective method would only be used by someone who was clinging to a life-saving straw on the brink of death. This was a testament to his desire to live.
Miao Yi and his steed instantly fell into the thick white mist, where they couldn't even see their own fingers.
The people chasing after him were stunned. Miao Yi had actually killed nine Red Lotus cultivators with a single strike?
"Miao Yi!" Yan Beihong and the other two almost shouted in unison. They hurriedly turned around in midair, with nine people on one side and eighteen on the other, facing off against each other.
The sound of hurried hooves could be heard coming from the thick mist below. They stopped, and the group looked down at the mist.
Amidst the pitch-black mist, Charcoal's armor was nowhere to be seen. He accurately located Miao Yi's position, sneezed, and sniffed Miao Yi's face.
Miao Yi was desperately trying to grab a stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb. He turned to look at the giant head before him, and forced a smile. 'This damned fatty is really tough. He's not dead yet, and it looks like he's fine too.'
But he was in big trouble. Not only did he suffer a heavy blow, but he also fell from such a great height. He was still coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth, and needed treatment.
Miao Yi tried his best to bring the Glorious Star immortal herb to his mouth, but he didn't expect his body to tighten. Charcoal had already picked him up, and with a flick of its neck, threw Miao Yi onto its back. Then, it stealthily carried Miao Yi away.
Clearly, Charcoal knew that someone was after Miao Yi's life, and was afraid of alerting the others outside. It knew to use the mist as a cover, so it quietly crept away, acting like a thief. No wonder Yao Ruoxian called it the fat thief. Unfortunately, the mist was too thick, and Charcoal couldn't see clearly at all. It looked left and right, and seemed a little confused. 'Where can I hide?'
Charcoal had good intentions, but Miao Yi, who was lying on its back, felt like crying. 'My Glorious Star immortal herb!'
His fingers weakly reached for the hazy halo of light in the mist, but how could he still grab it?
He didn't have any strength to begin with, so much so that he didn't even have the strength to speak. It was already difficult for him to bring the Glorious Star immortal herb to his mouth and nose to absorb it, so how could he withstand Charcoal's fling? The Glorious Star immortal herb that he had painstakingly obtained was flung away by Charcoal.
He still had a stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb in his storage ring, which he had obtained from An Zhengfeng back in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Unfortunately, he really couldn't condense any more transcendence energy to summon it again. He could only curse in his heart, 'Damn fatty, I'm going to die because of you!'
Actually, when he suffered the heavy blow in the air, the Third Grade Transcendent Artifact on his body had helped him block it at the critical moment. His injuries weren't serious at that time, but the real injuries he suffered were from falling from a high altitude. Who would believe that a Blue Lotus Ninth Grade cultivator would be injured from falling from the sky? But when he fell just now, his ability to protect himself was really limited. It was already a blessing that he didn't die on the spot.
He was really injured from the fall, and his injuries were very serious. If he didn't treat his injuries in time, his life would really be in danger!
Miao Yi didn't want to die by Charcoal's hands before dying by his enemy's hands. He choked and spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth and scrunching up his face. He was in extreme pain as he tried to condense even the slightest bit of transcendence energy.
He had to summon the life-saving immortal herb from his storage ring. He couldn't die here!
